Queensland Nickel – Stack Inspection

Queensland Nickel – Stack Inspection

What do you do when you have a condemned structure that requires an urgent inspection? You call in NQ UAV to conduct a detailed inspection over the entire structure. Our skilled pilots are able to operate within meters of the structure while our payload specialists control the camera to get high resolution photos of every detail. In this instance, we had a large concrete stack that needed to be documented. This involved creating a flight plan to ensure the entire structure was captured in high detail and the photos were able to be stitched together to make it easier for the site engineers to do the stack inspection from the comfort of their air-conditioned office.

This stack inspection proved to be a difficult as access around the base of the structure was limited and areas for the pilot and payload specialists to be able to operate from where in areas of traffic from HV dump trucks and forklifts. NQ UAV were able to organise a schedule of flights to ensure that they did not conflict with the other ground users in addition, we already have a very efficient method of operation with further ensured that our operations took as little time as possible during the stack inspection.

Thank you for visiting us. As of November 2017 we will no longer be trading as NQ UAV and will continue as FlyFreely. Combined with this change of name is a change of direction with the company. We have made the decision to discontinue our contract drone services.

We believe that the future of drones is in your hands, and that is why we have developed FlyFreely. We want to make drone usage available to everyone through facilitating a safe, quick, and cost effective process. Basically, we want to enable drones for everyone. If this sounds like a good fit for your business, let us know! We would love to hear from you and discuss how you want to use drones in your business.

Alternatively, if you would rather get someone else in for your flights, that is OK too. We will connect you with other drone pilots on FlyFreely who are specialists in their field. You can still reach us on (07) 4402 4069 at any time, and we have made the jump to a new website: www.flyfreely.io

Thanks for all your help and support over the years. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and sincerely hope to continue to do so in to the future!
